P-LINK POSQuick answer
Clover Online Ordering can send eligible Canadian restaurant orders into the Clover POS and kitchen workflow for pickup or dine-in. Clover's current Canada page says it requires a Station Duo, Mini or Flex connected to a printer and a Counter Service or Table Service software plan. Online card payments remain card-not-present transactions, and third-party delivery integrations such as Uber Eats have separate setup and commercial terms that should be confirmed before launch.
Key takeaways
- Confirm the required Clover device, printer and restaurant software plan before planning a launch.
- Prepare categories, modifiers, hours, taxes, availability and kitchen routing before publishing the menu.
- Treat online ordering, card-not-present processing and third-party delivery as separate cost and operating decisions.
What Clover Online Ordering does
Clover Canada says online orders can be received and managed on the Clover POS, with eligible pickup and dine-in workflows. Menu and business-information changes can sync to the online ordering page, reducing duplicate entry when the configuration is supported.
- Customers can order from a restaurant's online menu page.
- Orders can route to the Clover POS and kitchen workflow.
- Restaurants can publish service hours and temporarily pause online orders.
Current Canada requirements
Clover's Canada page currently states that Online Ordering requires a Station Duo, Mini or Flex connected to a printer and a Counter Service or Table Service software plan. It is not listed as available on Payments Plus or Register Lite. Plans, devices, eligibility and features can change, so confirm the current written proposal rather than relying on an older article or screenshot.
Prepare the menu before going live
An online menu needs more detail than an in-store menu board. Review names, descriptions, prices, taxes, modifiers, meal periods, sold-out handling and kitchen routing. Clover's developer documentation also describes item availability and low-stock controls, but the exact merchant-facing workflow and any integration behaviour should be tested on the live account.
- Send test orders for every major category and modifier path.
- Confirm which printer or KDS station receives each item.
- Test refunds, cancellations, sold-out items and end-of-day reconciliation.
Uber Eats integration
Clover Canada's official article describes an integration that can send Uber Eats orders into Clover, sync menu and inventory information, and reduce the need for a separate order tablet. Once connected, Clover says the Clover menu controls the Uber Eats menu. Merchants should confirm current availability, onboarding, commission, delivery, cancellation, refund and support terms directly before enabling it.
Fees and processing questions
Clover's Canada page says Online Ordering has no additional Clover subscription or commission fee under the stated eligible plans, while also noting that card-not-present interchange applies to online orders. That statement does not make the entire channel free: processing, delivery marketplace, app, hardware, software and contract costs can still apply. Ask for each cost in writing.
P-LINK POS practical insight
Start with one complete test journey: a customer finds the menu, places an order, pays, the order reaches the correct kitchen station, the team changes an item to sold out, and the payment reconciles correctly. P-LINK POS can help Canadian merchants document this workflow and confirm the required Clover configuration without promising that every integration or plan is available to every account.
